Housewives must be recognised as part of 'toiling class', suggests Study
KOCHI: A new doctoral study has made two sharp observations on Kerala: Housewives must be recognised as part of the toiling class, and receiving a LIFE Mission housewhile socially empoweringdoes not significantly deepen a womans personal transformation. The research, authored by Nisha Jose, wife of Kerala Congress (M) chairman Jose K. Mani, argues that the States welfare architecture, although strong in infrastructure and allocations, still struggles to translate material gains into psychological and behavioural empowerment for women. The thesis scrutinises Keralas progress and highlights a critical gap. While women who receive a house under the LDF governments flagship LIFE Mission experience noticeable improvements in social standing and family recognition, the research finds that this shift does not automatically produce inner autonomy, confidence, or expanded decision-making power. In Nishas words, ownership does not substantially contribute to personal transformation, a finding that challenges the widely held assumption that asset creation alone is a direct pathway to womens empowerment. As of November 2025, Kerala has completed 4.71 lakh houses and allotted more than 5.08 lakh under the LIFE Mission, making it one of the most ambitious state-led housing interventions in the country. 'Rimi' short film: Celebrating housewives The study acknowledges the scale and intent of this effort, but points out that its impact is uneven across social, financial, and personal domains. Women gain visibility within the household and community, and the security of a permanent home reduces long-term precarity. Yet the internal shifts associated with empowerment remain limited, suggesting that welfare schemes need to be paired with interventions that focus on behavioural change, financial literacy and sustained institutional engagement at the grassroots. The thesis becomes especially significant when it turns to the late K. M. Manis Theory of the Toiling Class, a framework that has long shaped Keralas economic thinking. Mani positioned marginal farmers, artisans, traders, teachers, and other self-employed workersthose dependent primarily on labour rather than capitalat the centre of a new socio-economic category. 45,026 females committed suicide in 2021, over half were housewives: NCRB Nisha expands this theory in a direction Mani did not anticipate, arguing that housewives, whose unpaid labour sustains households and supports children, elders, and persons with disabilities, also belong within this category. Their work is relentless, indispensable, and foundational to the functioning of the economy, even though it is neither waged nor formally recognised. By inserting housewives into the toiling class, the study reframes Keralas understanding of labour and broadens an influential economic theory to acknowledge a vast, invisible workforce that keeps the state running. This conceptual expansion was developed with the participation of researcher Nisha Anna John, who co-authored the theoretical sections of the study. Together, their work argues that the category of the toiling class cannot remain limited to income-generating labour alone, and must include those who labour without wages yet hold up the social structure. The research also enters the policy conversation at a timely moment. On November 10, 2025, the Kerala Finance Department announced a new monthly pension of Rs 1,000 for financially vulnerable women and transgender persons between 35 and 60 years, holding pink or yellow ration cards and earning below Rs 1 lakh annually. This acknowledgement of unpaid work echoes similar schemes launched in Karnataka and Haryana. The study notes that transfer payments to homemakers tend to re-enter the circular flow of income through household consumption, generating multiplier effects that stimulate economic demand while improving gender dignity. Submitted to Sri Balaji University, Pune, the thesis evaluates gender budgeting, welfare implementation, and institutional mechanisms between 2021 and 2025. It observes that Keralas gender budgeting allocations have risen from 5.5% in 200809 to over 20% in the most recent budgets, reflecting sustained political commitment. Yet awareness among panchayat and municipal officials remains inconsistent, and many implementers are unfamiliar with the analytical framework of gender budgeting. Institutions such as the Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) help translate policy into practice, but the research argues for stronger bottom-up planning, decentralised accountability, and better communication across administrative levels. In bringing together an evaluation of welfare delivery, an examination of gender budgeting, and a reimagining of Manis toiling class theory, the study offers an important reminder. Keralas welfare state may have built the houses, but its next challenge is to nurture the deeper personal transformation that empowers women from within. And by recognising housewives as part of the toiling class, the research insists that the state must finally acknowledge the unseen labour that has long held its social fabric together.
Malayali 'Manavatty' arrack shines at Scotland election convention
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Befitting the popular adage that a Malayali can be found in every corner of the world, UK-based Malayali arrack brand 'Manavatty' was the star of the Scotland National Party (SNP) convention held ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections in Edinburgh. The Manavatty bottles, co-signed by the first minister of Scotland John Swinney and the brand founder John Xavier, were sold at attractive prices after a tight auction held here for the party's candidate adoption and fundraising convention programme. The event was held as an 'Adoption Night' programme, reminiscent of the Scottish political history from the 1970s. However, even amidst the heated political discussions, the special edition bottles of Manavatty became an attraction. The ceremony was also attended by Scottish cabinet minister Fiona Hislop and Michelle Thomson, former connectivity minister Stewart Stevenson, and other candidates including former MP David Linden, councillors Pauline Stafford and Dennis. Adding a desi touch to the event, Indians, including Jain University director Tom Joseph, representatives of the British Tamil Forum, Karnataka Association UK, and SanTV, were also present here. The event was followed by cultural programmes led by five popular musicians. Manavatty, which was developed in the United Kingdom by the Kochi native John Xavier, is now produced under the London Barren Limited company. Shot to popularity earlier this year, the arrack blended the traditional arrack vatting techniques and modern brewery methods.

Antara Senior Care Expands Footprint in Bengaluru with the Launch of a New Care Home in Whitefield
Antara Senior Care, part of the $7-billion Max Group operating a network of seven care homes nationally, has announced the launch of its new facility in Whitefield, Bengaluru. This 80-bed senior care home in Bengaluru's top IT hub and residential area strengthens the company's presence in Karnataka, where it now operates ~163 beds across Bannerghatta and Whitefield locations; nationally it now has 500 operational beds. The setup provides assisted living facility to meet seniors’ short- to long-term needs and specialised transition care services through geriatric-trained teams and infrastructure designed to promote independence and check loneliness. In India’s top IT hub, Bengaluru, multiple factors combine to fuel the demand for senior care solutions. The city’s population is ageing faster than India - almost 11%1 of the city’s residents are now 60+, they enjoy high life expectancy but are often managing multiple chronic health conditions. There’s also a change in family structures. With children living abroad, there is a rise in seniors ageing alone making adults seek specialised care solutions for their parents. The new Antara Care Home in Whitefield helps families meets these needs. Speaking about the launch, Ishaan Khanna, CEO, Antara Assisted Care Services , said, “ The period after hospitalisation and even the need for consistent daily care can be emotionally and logistically challenging, especially while juggling the responsibilities of daily life. There’s also a surge in the number of super seniors, aged 80+ years2, whose need for support is higher and vastly different from the more active seniors in the 60-79 age bracket. With Antara Care Homes’ expansion into Whitefield, we're not just adding beds, we're bringing medically supervised, dignified care to families who need trusted senior care solutions. Antara has been working dedicatedly to unlock access to specialised senior care ecosystems through geographic expansions and financial tools like TPA enabled transition care—active across all facilities in Delhi-NCR and Bannerghatta .” The 80-bed Whitefield Antara Care Home offers short-, medium- and long-term living solutions for seniors who need assistance with activities of daily living as an outcome of ageing; the facility also offers short-term, clinically supervised, structured care after surgery or acute illness. It has state-of-the-art infrastructure for transition care, 24x7 nursing, specialist doctor support, geriatric-trained teams, in-house kitchen offering specialised meals planned by dieticians, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and an engaging social calendar designed to alleviate loneliness and promote mental alertness. Like all Antara Care Homes, the Whitefield facility is designed to offer “ care with dignity, ” helping residents maintain their independence with necessary support. The expansion comes at a critical time as India's senior population is set to double from ~150 million now to over 350 million by 2050 creating new care demands. Antara has been at the forefront of building material and human infrastructure that supports this transformation. Operating a network of care homes across Delhi-NCR, Chennai, and Bengaluru with 500 operational beds serving thousands of families, Antara is known for its highly trained, professional teams upskilled using in-house geriatric-training modules certified by the Healthcare Sector Skill Council of India.

Karnataka HC dismisses DNAs petition against Chinnaswamy stadium stampede inquiry report
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court on Monday dismissed the petition filed by the event management company challenging the report of the Justice John Michael Cunha Commission into the stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium that claimed 11 lives during the IPL title celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The division bench of Justice D K Singh and Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju noted that the state government has given an undertaking that no action would be taken against M/s DNA Entertainment Networks Private Limited, solely based on the findings of the report of the Commission of Inquiry but only after giving the firm an opportunity of hearing. Referring to the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Goa Foundation case and the undertaking given by the state government, the court said that, the government will make its own assessment of the facts. Considering the discussions made in the order and the specific stand of the state, the apprehension of the petitioner that, without an opportunity of being heard, an action would be taken against it on the basis of the report does not survive. We find that no further orders are required. The writ petition is therefore dismissed, the court noted. The court stated that the Commission was set up by the government on June 5, 2025, as a fact-finding body. The petitioner was issued notice by the commission, and the petitioner never demanded the depositions of the witnesses or the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses already examined before July 4, 2025. As an afterthought attempt, the petitioner filed the memo dated July 4 before the commission, demanding depositions of all the witnesses and opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses, knowing fully that the terms of the commission would end on July 10 and the commission was to submit the report on or before July 10, 2025. Therefore, the court is of the view that the petitioner has filed this petition as an afterthought attempt to avoid any action(s) on the basis of the recommendation made by the commission in its report dated July 10, the court said while dismissing the petition by taking note of the undertaking given by the state government.
Current Kaveri 2.0 layout creates legal vacuum: Karnataka HC
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court has directed the Departments of Stamps and Registration and Revenue to introduce a new workflow within Kaveri 2.0 titled Mutation Based on Civil Court Decree in collaboration with the Centre for Smart Governance (CSG). The court passed an order stating that the current configuration of Kaveri 2.0 inadvertently creates a legal vacuum, treating decrees of competent civil courts over property disputes as if they were extra-statutory or non-existent for mutation purposes, which compels citizens to seek multiple endorsements, verifications, and certifications for matters conclusively decided by courts. Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum issued the directions by allowing the petition filed by Gilbert Vas and others seeking directions to the Tahsildar of Bantwal taluk to consider their application and affect the khata transfer in their favour, as per the terms of the compromise final decree passed in an original suit by the sessions court in Dakshina Kannada. The court noted that the present Kaveri 2.0 framework, being primarily transaction-oriented (sale, gift, mortgage, inheritance), does not adequately accommodate mutations arising from civil court decrees. This has resulted in recurring administrative ambiguity when revenue authorities attempt to give effect to judicially declared rights. This scenario frustrates the object of Section 128 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, which seeks to ensure that all acquisitions of rights, whether by act of parties or operations of law, are duly recorded in the revenue registers, and also contravenes Section 135, which requires revenue records to be amended in accordance with judicial declarations, the court added. To restore coherence between judicial adjudication and administrative execution, and to ensure that binding civil court decrees automatically receive recognition within the states digital revenue infrastructure, the directions are issued, the court said.
